I was cleaning up the corner of the yard: pulling weeds, raking and such, and I came across a small plant that I was pretty sure was spearmint! I love spearmint... We had planted spearmint two or three years previously. Spearmint is a very invasive plant, but I didn't know if that could be possible!?!? So, yeah, I saw this spearmint and I looked through a crack in the fence at the small area that separates the fenced in yards and I though I saw more spearmint! I climbed up on the fence and sure enough there was more spearmint, but not just a little, Allot! So I told my mom, and she asked me if I could go get some so we could transplant it into our yard and extra for spearmint tea as it wasn't in anyones property, And hey! It is most likely ours anyway! I went to retrieve it and as I walked through I noticed that there were quite a few poison ivy plants around and I tried to avoid them best I could. That is until I was using the shovel trying not to cut the roots of the plant. I was crouching down, standing on my tip-toes while I was digging and I lost my balance. I tried to grab the shorter fence, but it was too late, I had fallen into a patch of poison ivy... I hurried up and finished the job, I went back to my house, placed the plant on the porch, told my mom what had happened, then went to go take a shower using fels neptha! The tea was delicious and I don't have poison ivy... Yet!

My hero! Now let's hope you don't come down with Poison Ivy as I suppose I wasn't "respecting the ivy" as dad warns us! Let's also hope that our transplanted spearmint takes root and spreads on our side of the fence this time!!
